AUVEUTI3KMKXT SPALDING & ROGERS' THREE CIR-CUSSES.Tho homely adago " all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy," deserves to bo kept moro prominently before the American people, since it has becomo a subject of remark in both hemispheres, that tho physique of Americans is becoming deteriorated, by too excessive attention to business. Tho most cursory observer is cosipellcd to notico tho diirerence between our Transatlantic neighbors and our selves, attributable solely to our absorbing application to money-making, while tho Englishmen mingles relaxation and exercise with his business, indulging in a v.iricty of gymnastic exercises, to keep up an equilibrium between the mental and physical functions. Fortunately nature has imparted in the human breast a desiro to bo amused, as indelibly as tho instinct of self preservation, and both with tho samo tendency to lengthen life, but unfortunately tho sources of amusement amongst a people so engrossed with business cares as our own, are apparently limited apparently we say, since every family and every community havo within themselves abundant material for healthful and innocent amusement, if only they would avail themselves of it since, however, they do not, the public mind uaturally turns to public entertainments for the recreation and relaxation indispensable in this ngo of business cares. Tho Circus has been to all classes and ages tho popular American amusement, but unhappily, altho' in itself entirely unexccptionablo,and probably the best adapted of all to promote entire relaxation, tho indiscretion nnd incompetency of managers havo sometimes brought it into reproach.Wo aro happy to bo ablo to anticipato that in tho triplo establishment of Messrs. Spalding & Eogers, which is announced to bo hero next Saturday, wo aro to havo an entertainment of this kind, not only of greater novelty and extent than has yet been aQ'ordcd us in this line, but also one entirely unexceptionable. Tho high reputation of tho celebrated proprietors, asido from tho corroborative testimony of all our exchanges on their routo, is a guarautyof this. We do not value tho great that accompanies this mammoth concern,' its unparallcd sizo from tho combination of the three companies of the proprietors into one vast whole, its three troupes of Riders, Gymnasts and Clowns its triplo stud of Ring, Trick and Tci-forming Horses, its hugo forty horso band train driven by ono man, tho startling fcat of ascending from tho ground on a slender wire extendi d at great height to tho top of tho center pole, by a lady, who must havo moro courago than discretion, and tho scoro of other remarkablo features .characterizing Spalding Ss Rogers' threo Circusses, and wich will doubtless produce great cxciteiacnt here, as it is doing everywhere. Wo do not consider all this as any thing comparablo with tho fact that in tho names of theso gentlemen, wo havo an assu-ranco that tho entertainments will bo such as ladies nnd children can wiUiess with propriety and of that high ordor that will havo a tendency, asido from tho passing pleasure, of inculcating a tasto for graco and tho development of the corporal fncultiess. Messrs. Spalding & Rogers arc probably the most prominent Circus proprietors in tho World, tho builders of tho celebrated exhibi tion steamers Floating Tnlaco, James Pay-moud and Danjo, od tho Ohio and Mississippi rivors, and of a train of railroad cars of their own, with many remarkablo peculiarities, for tho transportation of two of their companies ono by water and tho other by railaoad and also of tho North American Circus, an especial fu.vorito in Xew York and Kew England, and which was West in 1810 ; besides Am phitheatres in diflercnf parts of tho country. The extent of their projects requires system, and they havo reduced tho management to a method that is admirablo, and abovo all, we bclicvo they havo tho credit of always " performing everythingou thoir bills." . Buchanan and Webster. Soon after tho great expounder had discharged ono of his heavy guns in tho United States Senato, a gen-llcmnn was extolling hiin to Buclianan. "Yes," said the latter, "ho is a great statesman but no politicion." Tho samo individual met Mr. Webster a fow days subsequently, and improved tho occasion lo elicit his oppinion of the philosopir of Wheatland, and singularly enough, ho said of Buchanan, "ho is a greSt politicion, but no statesman." Boston ZVun-tcrij4.' Tub Hkwut or Impudence. An editor who had been fined several wooka in succes sion for gelling drunk, coolly proposed to tho judge that bo bhould take him by tho year at reduced rate. roiit j ii OF JULY. Mr. Editor : I want to tell you of a genuine Fourth of July. It's a Fourth in tho country. Fourth in tho country ? Yes, sir. Mr. Editor, tho Fourth has takon a pilgrimage into tho country, and right wall its visit was enjoyed, too, as tho sequel will show. And should your' high mightiness condescend to givo this to tho public through tho medium of your paper, (I won't say how good or popular it is,) I am sure our good folks won't bo sorry to sco that you have found out they can enjoy their Fourth at homo. But about tho 1th. Wo happened there, no matter how ! Plcaso listen to our story ? About half past 0 o'clock A. M., on tho morning of tho " Glorious Fourth" I drew up in tho grovo, by tho school house, in tho neighborhood of " Father Hunt's," for I heard thero was to bo a celebration hero to-day. From tho preparations mado hero, I judged the report was truo, for a large platform was erected, nicely carpeted, curtained on tho sides, with Boats enough on it for 40 persons. It was a sclwol celebration. Presently I hoard somo ono say : " hero thoy como," and turning my eyes in tho samo direction with tho rest, I saw tho scholars marching in precession from tho school houso. They proceed as regularly as a company of well trained militia. As they camo nearer I saw a river of ribbon, fastened upon tho breasts of boys and girls and soon, I heard " Excelsior " whispered around ; They wore excelsior badges. They marched up and seated themselves upon tho stand ; then commenced tho exercise of the day. If I could have procured a programmo, I would send it lo you ; but 1 could not. May lie somo ono has dono so already. IIopo they havo. Ono characteristic which I thought very proper was, tho exercises were opened with prayer. Quito excellent music was discoursed during tho day. Somo of our country girls and boys can siny. Declamations from the scholars, with music at propor intervals, occupied tho time until noon. An hour's intermission was given as thoir timo for refreshments. Then might be seen somo part of tho tasto of country women, with what honest prido they brought forth thoircakes, pics, tarts, &c, until tho table prepared to hold them was loaded. What candies, too ! Well might they be proud ; Hero was a dinner a king might havo envied. Eight well wo all onjoyed it too. After dinner, tho exercises wore resumed, and lasted about an hour. Tho declamations of tho boys, and pieces of tho girls were good certainly. They would havo dono honor to moro mature minds. I should mention that ono young man dolivorjd us a " Select Oration." Great satisfaction was expressed by all who were present. Docs this not reflect somo credit upon tho school ? And does it not show an interest in education. It shows too, Mr. Editor, that theso people possess means of enjoyment within themselves, and do not depend entirely upon somo foreign excitement to mako their holidays pass pleasantly. Such quiet, peaceful celebra tions aro a benefit to all who enjoy them. May such celebrations still bo encourraged hero, and may others follow tho example JIUSTICUS. Gov. Chase on Disunion. Tho newspaper report of Gov. Chase's ro- sponso to tho Mayor of Baltimore, on behalf of tho guests from tho western cities, at tho reception of tho latter, last Saturday, is ono of tho best efforts of tho kind we have ever read. The following is the concluding paragraph : You havo spoken eloquently, sir, of railroads as bonds of union, and your observations were as just as thoy woro eloquent . No man conversant with railroads can bo a dis-unionist. Tho social intorcourso which thoy foster, tho tics of business which they create, tho mutual dependenco which they establish and exhibit, mako disunion impossible. There must, of course, bo difference of opinion on somo points. Real grievances may from timo to timo demand rodrcss. But thero is no evil of which disunion is tho proper euro. And tho moro wo seo of each other, the less likely wo shall bo to commit tho error of thinking otherwiso. Tho fact is, that wo who livo along tho lirio of tho American Central Rail way don't mean to let this Union break up. Maryland will not. I trust Virginia will not Ohio, I am sure, will not. Nor Indiana, or Illinois, or Missouri. Who, then, will ? No, sir. We may differ henceforth, as wo have dono heretofore. Wo will retain our respective opinions and positions with candor, cour tesy, firmness and resolution j and wo will refer whatever question may bo bctwocu us lo tho groat American tribunal of popular discussion and popular judgment. But in tho timo to come, as in tho timo past, we cloavo to tho Union ns our ark of rofugo and, under God, our surest guaranteo of prosperity and power and abiding glory. Mr. Secretary Stanton has been ex amining tho Border Rullian Laws of Kansas, and has said, " thai ionic nf them are damnable." Ho is moro candid than his doughface brethren in Ohio. 0 Tho w ater employed in tho christening of tho flew royal baby of' England was brought from the River Jordan, and presented to Ilor Majesty by Capt.

It is surprising to mo that so littlo attention is paid by farmers to tho importance of keeping farm accounts J by which I mean accounts witli his principal crops, and also of tho stock kept on his farm. Though this latter itom is more difficult to ascertain, yet tho former is as easily kept as an account of a merchant or mechanic with his customers, and in tho samo way by attending to it at tho timo. I pro-sumo thero is not ono farmer in twenty, perhaps not ono in a hundred, who keeps any regular account of farming operations ; consequently tho most ho knows about it is guesswork, llo knows perhaps that ho has got a crib of corn, or a bin of wheat ; but how much it cost him in manure, labor, seed, interest on land, eVc, &c, ho guesses at, ordun't troublo about. Such a farmer cannot tell whether his business is protitablo or unprofitable, at least not until his capital is sensibly increased or diminished. IIo cannot tell with any certainty whether corn or beans is tho most profitablo crop j whether cows or sheep will yield tho greatest remuneration for the ex-penso bestowed ; or whether ho makes or loses money by summer fallowing and sowing ten acres of wheat on shares. All this, and much moro that is useful and instructive, can bo ascertained by keeping accurato accounts charging each crop or flock of sheep with tho expense of tillage, keeping &c, and crcd-i'.i'ig each with the actual returns, whenever ascertained. This would not occupy more than ten minutes each day.and would abundantly repay by the information and instruction it would impart. I grant that tho crops of tho farmer aro subject to contingencies. Tho weevil may destroy his wheat, tho grub cat up his growing corn, and the drought may diminish his dairy profits, but ho must mako allowance for theso occurrences, and consider tho. loss in tho same light that a merchant would a bad debt. I know that a groat majority of farmers havo a repugnanco to writing anything, either through indolence, or because thoy think thoy havo not tho n:cossary time ; but I entreat such to try it, say for ono year, commencin now, and sco if it will not compensate, will induce habits of order and system ; it will show where labor is most profitably expended j it will show whero losses havo accrued from want of caro and- attention ; how much loss was sustained in tho corn crop last year for the want of caro in tho saving and selection of seed corn. In conclusion, I would saj, that I kept such accounts for a number of years, and though now retired from business of (arming, I would not take for my accounts doublo what thoy cost mo. I was under tho necessity of laboring constantly and diligently ; but my custom was to have a slate, with a pencil attached, always at hand, when in the house, and nothing on it, at tho snmo timo, j everything of which I wished to keep an account. On Saturday night, or oftener, 1 transferred it to my account book. Wyoming County Mirror. Trouble in the Camp. Thero is troublo in tho Administration camp in Pennsylvania. Fornoy ha3 got "mad" with Buchanan, becauso ho could not ge' such an appointment as ho liked, nnd such as nobody but Forney himself thought him entitled to. Ho was offered a consulship ; but that would not do. Nothing short of a lirst-class mission would answor Forney's purpose Forney's temper is up j ho threatens to start a paper to opposo Buchanan's Administration. Tho Pcmwjlvanian, tho leading Buchanan organ in that State which paper Forney used to edit has opened its guns upon tho discontented Colonel. A fow months ago, and the columns of that paper wero filled with tho praises of this samo Forney. Now, all is changed. How tho Penniyluanian now deals with its cx-cditor may bo seen in tho following extract, of a recent editorial : "To Col. Forncv wo owo nothing. So long as our columns could be used for his own purposes, sometimes under the guiso of ser ving tho party it was well. But now that his political fortunes are past help, wo aro cooly requested by him, through his friends, to rc-si"n tho control of our paper to him, or to dispose of ourselves by an absolute sale, at a J prico which ho knows to bo less than one-half its value, and which would involvo our pecu niary ruia. Our refusal to accept his proposition, brought the threat that a new organ would be commenced, and that a few months would be sufficient to blot us out of existence. Whilst Mr. Buchanan, among tho special friends of Col. Forney, ia tho subject of loud complaints and bitter revilings, does tho President descrvo to bo branded as an ingrato ? Has ho not asked Col. Forney to lake a posi tion in his government, the best in his government lo which Col. Forney is fitted, and worth, as tendered to him, at least $13,000 per annum, besides from his friends an outfit in cash of $10,tw. Docs tins iook hhu ingratitude on the part of tho President for ser vices rendered ? " Tho Xonia Torch Light is in favor of nominating Addison P. Russell, Esq., editor of tho Clinton Co.

In England, tho Electric and International Telegraph Company have organized their establishment in such a manner that money deposited with tho company will bo advised by telegraphic order, and be paid out to parties named in the ordor. We concur in opinion with a cotcniporary that theso money remittances by' telegraph are tho beginnings of a great sysUtu wbiuh in likclv to sunorcedewst oflico remit tances, and we trust with safety equal tJ its swiftness. S., HIT. V. &. V. It. It. CO. - To W. Dunbar. Em.. President of the Swina-1 field, Ml. Vernon i$- Pittsburgh 11. if. Co. Silt: After careful inspection of tho lino of your Hallway, aided by the profiles, notes, and estimates of tho work dono andlho work re maining to bo done, I havo tho satisfaction to Report that the location of tho line is the best .. v ... i that could bo made, and presents a lino unu sually free from local curvature. Tho grades Adopted are well laid, highly favorable for thorough drainage, and well adapted to tho easy, uniform, and rapid passage of Trains' and nearly all the work yet done is of tho most permanent character ; in short, ttie location and tho work has been done with the view to build a first class road ill all its parts, and tho estimated cost for completion is ample to carry out tho original intention. Tho country through which it passes is rolling and sometimes hilly, while most of the earth work is gravel, which affords easy drainage, a hard road bed, of easy construction and future repair. Your Road is designed to become part of the best route between the cities nf Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and for all tho business West of Dayton, and has but ono competitor to the claim, called tho Steubenvillo Routo, which is composed of tho Pittsburgh and Steubenvillo Road, tho Steubenvillo and Indiana Road to Nowark, thenco by the Central Ohio Road to Columbus, and thenco by tho Columbus and Xonia Road and tho Little Miami Road to Cincinnati,In comparing with tho Stculwnvillo Route, yours has tho advantage in every element of success, (except in tho chain distance) and but for this exception no mention of those advantages would here be needed, becauso a shorter distance, however slight, is too often claimed and concedod to be conclusive.

Tho connections referred to deserve especial notico, since by the contract recently effected, for a through route between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, not only is tho powerful aid of the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne and Chicago and tlio Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton R. R. Companies secured, in securing us our future business, but it is their interest to givo it to us exclusively; and by contract, at equitable rales. The former Road, by its connection with the Pennsylvania Central Railroad m the samo Depot at Pittsburgh, and tho influence, which it must possess from its great magnitude and importance, will be to us more valuable than to havo our own independent line to that city. The connection with tho Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Road, which has tho advantage of a common Depot with tho Ohio & Mississippi Road at Cincinnati, secures to us the best connection with that city. The Sloubenvillo Routo depends upon the Littlo Miami Road fur its Cincinnati business, while tho latter Road has also to divide its favors w ith three other Routes eastward. Tho local business along your line.of llond mnv lie assumed to be equal to that of any other Road in Ohio of equal length, since by a comparison of the population and value of tax able property in tlio live counties through, and into which this Road passes, they equal an average of that of the State, and would yield an annual income of $2,221 per milo up-on)this basis of estimating. When wo add to this the amount of the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati through business, secured by the contract referred to, tho gross I 111co.no claimed m your Report ot January last of $3,300 per mile, or 040,000, will be moro than rcali.cd. That so good a Route fur a Railroad was to bo fuund in the eastern part of Ohio was not dexpecto by those acquainted with tho topography of this State. Tho region northwest of the Ohio River, and extending as far west as tho Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Kail-road, is hilly. Tho table lands and summits between tho main streams maintaining an elevation of about 4U0 feet abovo low water lino of tho Ohio River, the valleys of the tributaries of that rivcp becoming lowor as Uiey approach it, while tho intervening ridges retain their uniform high elevation. Low "gaps" in theso ridges aro very raro, and tht search for them in tho proper lino of a Itoad, has been tho occupation of Engineers fur many years. It is now thought to be completed aud all the ridges to havo been travors-ed by tho instruments. Your Road would leave tlio line ol the rittshurgh, r ort S aync & Chicago Road in tho valley of the Mohican and necessarily pass over tho high land between that stream and Vernon River. A " pass" was found for it near Orccrsville, 108 feet lower than any other spot on this Ridge and requires only 120 feet rise to reach it from tho East, having 3,'.j miles distance to mako tho ascent, tho summit requiring olecp cutting, but on tho contrary, presents tho least costly mile of grading upon tho whole Road. Tho descent to the valley of Vornon River 125 feet is effected in 7 miles in a straight line and with light grading, thenco following up the valley of Vernon River past Kcnyon Col-Icirc'to Mt. Vernon, where it crossos tho River, proceeds up tho valley of Dry Creek to tho table lands 15 miles distant from Mt. Vornon, and thence upon a direct course, with undu lating grades to Delaware. The Yvcstim luvision or the lioan, from Delaware to Springfield is completed and brought into use with engines and cars sufll-ciunt upon it fur local traffic.

AUVEUTI3KMKXT SPALDING & ROGERS' THREE CIR-CUSSES.Tho homely adago " all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy," deserves to bo kept moro prominently before the American people, since it has becomo a subject of remark in both hemispheres, that tho physique of Americans is becoming deteriorated, by too excessive attention to business. Tho most cursory observer is cosipellcd to notico tho diirerence between our Transatlantic neighbors and our selves, attributable solely to our absorbing application to money-making, while tho Englishmen mingles relaxation and exercise with his business, indulging in a v.iricty of gymnastic exercises, to keep up an equilibrium between the mental and physical functions. Fortunately nature has imparted in the human breast a desiro to bo amused, as indelibly as tho instinct of self preservation, and both with tho samo tendency to lengthen life, but unfortunately tho sources of amusement amongst a people so engrossed with business cares as our own, are apparently limited apparently we say, since every family and every community havo within themselves abundant material for healthful and innocent amusement, if only they would avail themselves of it since, however, they do not, the public mind uaturally turns to public entertainments for the recreation and relaxation indispensable in this ngo of business cares. Tho Circus has been to all classes and ages tho popular American amusement, but unhappily, altho' in itself entirely unexccptionablo,and probably the best adapted of all to promote entire relaxation, tho indiscretion nnd incompetency of managers havo sometimes brought it into reproach.Wo aro happy to bo ablo to anticipato that in tho triplo establishment of Messrs. Spalding & Eogers, which is announced to bo hero next Saturday, wo aro to havo an entertainment of this kind, not only of greater novelty and extent than has yet been aQ'ordcd us in this line, but also one entirely unexceptionable. Tho high reputation of tho celebrated proprietors, asido from tho corroborative testimony of all our exchanges on their routo, is a guarautyof this. We do not value tho great that accompanies this mammoth concern,' its unparallcd sizo from tho combination of the three companies of the proprietors into one vast whole, its three troupes of Riders, Gymnasts and Clowns its triplo stud of Ring, Trick and Tci-forming Horses, its hugo forty horso band train driven by ono man, tho startling fcat of ascending from tho ground on a slender wire extendi d at great height to tho top of tho center pole, by a lady, who must havo moro courago than discretion, and tho scoro of other remarkablo features .characterizing Spalding Ss Rogers' threo Circusses, and wich will doubtless produce great cxciteiacnt here, as it is doing everywhere. Wo do not consider all this as any thing comparablo with tho fact that in tho names of theso gentlemen, wo havo an assu-ranco that tho entertainments will bo such as ladies nnd children can wiUiess with propriety and of that high ordor that will havo a tendency, asido from tho passing pleasure, of inculcating a tasto for graco and tho development of the corporal fncultiess. Messrs. Spalding & Rogers arc probably the most prominent Circus proprietors in tho World, tho builders of tho celebrated exhibi tion steamers Floating Tnlaco, James Pay-moud and Danjo, od tho Ohio and Mississippi rivors, and of a train of railroad cars of their own, with many remarkablo peculiarities, for tho transportation of two of their companies ono by water and tho other by railaoad and also of tho North American Circus, an especial fu.vorito in Xew York and Kew England, and which was West in 1810 ; besides Am phitheatres in diflercnf parts of tho country. The extent of their projects requires system, and they havo reduced tho management to a method that is admirablo, and abovo all, we bclicvo they havo tho credit of always " performing everythingou thoir bills." . Buchanan and Webster. Soon after tho great expounder had discharged ono of his heavy guns in tho United States Senato, a gen-llcmnn was extolling hiin to Buclianan. "Yes," said the latter, "ho is a great statesman but no politicion." Tho samo individual met Mr. Webster a fow days subsequently, and improved tho occasion lo elicit his oppinion of the philosopir of Wheatland, and singularly enough, ho said of Buchanan, "ho is a greSt politicion, but no statesman." Boston ZVun-tcrij4.' Tub Hkwut or Impudence. An editor who had been fined several wooka in succes sion for gelling drunk, coolly proposed to tho judge that bo bhould take him by tho year at reduced rate. roiit j ii OF JULY. Mr. Editor : I want to tell you of a genuine Fourth of July. It's a Fourth in tho country. Fourth in tho country ? Yes, sir. Mr. Editor, tho Fourth has takon a pilgrimage into tho country, and right wall its visit was enjoyed, too, as tho sequel will show. And should your' high mightiness condescend to givo this to tho public through tho medium of your paper, (I won't say how good or popular it is,) I am sure our good folks won't bo sorry to sco that you have found out they can enjoy their Fourth at homo. But about tho 1th. Wo happened there, no matter how ! Plcaso listen to our story ? About half past 0 o'clock A. M., on tho morning of tho " Glorious Fourth" I drew up in tho grovo, by tho school house, in tho neighborhood of " Father Hunt's," for I heard thero was to bo a celebration hero to-day. From tho preparations mado hero, I judged the report was truo, for a large platform was erected, nicely carpeted, curtained on tho sides, with Boats enough on it for 40 persons. It was a sclwol celebration. Presently I hoard somo ono say : " hero thoy como," and turning my eyes in tho samo direction with tho rest, I saw tho scholars marching in precession from tho school houso. They proceed as regularly as a company of well trained militia. As they camo nearer I saw a river of ribbon, fastened upon tho breasts of boys and girls and soon, I heard " Excelsior " whispered around ; They wore excelsior badges. They marched up and seated themselves upon tho stand ; then commenced tho exercise of the day. If I could have procured a programmo, I would send it lo you ; but 1 could not. May lie somo ono has dono so already. IIopo they havo. Ono characteristic which I thought very proper was, tho exercises were opened with prayer. Quito excellent music was discoursed during tho day. Somo of our country girls and boys can siny. Declamations from the scholars, with music at propor intervals, occupied tho time until noon. An hour's intermission was given as thoir timo for refreshments. Then might be seen somo part of tho tasto of country women, with what honest prido they brought forth thoircakes, pics, tarts, &c, until tho table prepared to hold them was loaded. What candies, too ! Well might they be proud ; Hero was a dinner a king might havo envied. Eight well wo all onjoyed it too. After dinner, tho exercises wore resumed, and lasted about an hour. Tho declamations of tho boys, and pieces of tho girls were good certainly. They would havo dono honor to moro mature minds. I should mention that ono young man dolivorjd us a " Select Oration." Great satisfaction was expressed by all who were present. Docs this not reflect somo credit upon tho school ? And does it not show an interest in education. It shows too, Mr. Editor, that theso people possess means of enjoyment within themselves, and do not depend entirely upon somo foreign excitement to mako their holidays pass pleasantly. Such quiet, peaceful celebra tions aro a benefit to all who enjoy them. May such celebrations still bo encourraged hero, and may others follow tho example JIUSTICUS. Gov. Chase on Disunion. Tho newspaper report of Gov. Chase's ro- sponso to tho Mayor of Baltimore, on behalf of tho guests from tho western cities, at tho reception of tho latter, last Saturday, is ono of tho best efforts of tho kind we have ever read. The following is the concluding paragraph : You havo spoken eloquently, sir, of railroads as bonds of union, and your observations were as just as thoy woro eloquent . No man conversant with railroads can bo a dis-unionist. Tho social intorcourso which thoy foster, tho tics of business which they create, tho mutual dependenco which they establish and exhibit, mako disunion impossible. There must, of course, bo difference of opinion on somo points. Real grievances may from timo to timo demand rodrcss. But thero is no evil of which disunion is tho proper euro. And tho moro wo seo of each other, the less likely wo shall bo to commit tho error of thinking otherwiso. Tho fact is, that wo who livo along tho lirio of tho American Central Rail way don't mean to let this Union break up. Maryland will not. I trust Virginia will not Ohio, I am sure, will not. Nor Indiana, or Illinois, or Missouri. Who, then, will ? No, sir. We may differ henceforth, as wo have dono heretofore. Wo will retain our respective opinions and positions with candor, cour tesy, firmness and resolution j and wo will refer whatever question may bo bctwocu us lo tho groat American tribunal of popular discussion and popular judgment. But in tho timo to come, as in tho timo past, we cloavo to tho Union ns our ark of rofugo and, under God, our surest guaranteo of prosperity and power and abiding glory.

It is surprising to mo that so littlo attention is paid by farmers to tho importance of keeping farm accounts J by which I mean accounts witli his principal crops, and also of tho stock kept on his farm. Though this latter itom is more difficult to ascertain, yet tho former is as easily kept as an account of a merchant or mechanic with his customers, and in tho samo way by attending to it at tho timo. I pro-sumo thero is not ono farmer in twenty, perhaps not ono in a hundred, who keeps any regular account of farming operations ; consequently tho most ho knows about it is guesswork, llo knows perhaps that ho has got a crib of corn, or a bin of wheat ; but how much it cost him in manure, labor, seed, interest on land, eVc, &c, ho guesses at, ordun't troublo about. Such a farmer cannot tell whether his business is protitablo or unprofitable, at least not until his capital is sensibly increased or diminished. IIo cannot tell with any certainty whether corn or beans is tho most profitablo crop j whether cows or sheep will yield tho greatest remuneration for the ex-penso bestowed ; or whether ho makes or loses money by summer fallowing and sowing ten acres of wheat on shares. All this, and much moro that is useful and instructive, can bo ascertained by keeping accurato accounts charging each crop or flock of sheep with tho expense of tillage, keeping &c, and crcd-i'.i'ig each with the actual returns, whenever ascertained. This would not occupy more than ten minutes each day.and would abundantly repay by the information and instruction it would impart. I grant that tho crops of tho farmer aro subject to contingencies. Tho weevil may destroy his wheat, tho grub cat up his growing corn, and the drought may diminish his dairy profits, but ho must mako allowance for theso occurrences, and consider tho. loss in tho same light that a merchant would a bad debt. I know that a groat majority of farmers havo a repugnanco to writing anything, either through indolence, or because thoy think thoy havo not tho n:cossary time ; but I entreat such to try it, say for ono year, commencin now, and sco if it will not compensate, will induce habits of order and system ; it will show where labor is most profitably expended j it will show whero losses havo accrued from want of caro and- attention ; how much loss was sustained in tho corn crop last year for the want of caro in tho saving and selection of seed corn. In conclusion, I would saj, that I kept such accounts for a number of years, and though now retired from business of (arming, I would not take for my accounts doublo what thoy cost mo. I was under tho necessity of laboring constantly and diligently ; but my custom was to have a slate, with a pencil attached, always at hand, when in the house, and nothing on it, at tho snmo timo, j everything of which I wished to keep an account.

Fornoy ha3 got "mad" with Buchanan, becauso ho could not ge' such an appointment as ho liked, nnd such as nobody but Forney himself thought him entitled to. Ho was offered a consulship ; but that would not do. Nothing short of a lirst-class mission would answor Forney's purpose Forney's temper is up j ho threatens to start a paper to opposo Buchanan's Administration. Tho Pcmwjlvanian, tho leading Buchanan organ in that State which paper Forney used to edit has opened its guns upon tho discontented Colonel. A fow months ago, and the columns of that paper wero filled with tho praises of this samo Forney. Now, all is changed. How tho Penniyluanian now deals with its cx-cditor may bo seen in tho following extract, of a recent editorial : "To Col. Forncv wo owo nothing. So long as our columns could be used for his own purposes, sometimes under the guiso of ser ving tho party it was well. But now that his political fortunes are past help, wo aro cooly requested by him, through his friends, to rc-si"n tho control of our paper to him, or to dispose of ourselves by an absolute sale, at a J prico which ho knows to bo less than one-half its value, and which would involvo our pecu niary ruia. Our refusal to accept his proposition, brought the threat that a new organ would be commenced, and that a few months would be sufficient to blot us out of existence. Whilst Mr. Buchanan, among tho special friends of Col. Forney, ia tho subject of loud complaints and bitter revilings, does tho President descrvo to bo branded as an ingrato ? Has ho not asked Col. Forney to lake a posi tion in his government, the best in his government lo which Col.

S., HIT. V. &. V. It. It. CO. - To W. Dunbar. Em.. President of the Swina-1 field, Ml. Vernon i$- Pittsburgh 11. if. Co. Silt: After careful inspection of tho lino of your Hallway, aided by the profiles, notes, and estimates of tho work dono andlho work re maining to bo done, I havo tho satisfaction to Report that the location of tho line is the best .. v ... i that could bo made, and presents a lino unu sually free from local curvature. Tho grades Adopted are well laid, highly favorable for thorough drainage, and well adapted to tho easy, uniform, and rapid passage of Trains' and nearly all the work yet done is of tho most permanent character ; in short, ttie location and tho work has been done with the view to build a first class road ill all its parts, and tho estimated cost for completion is ample to carry out tho original intention. Tho country through which it passes is rolling and sometimes hilly, while most of the earth work is gravel, which affords easy drainage, a hard road bed, of easy construction and future repair. Your Road is designed to become part of the best route between the cities nf Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, and for all tho business West of Dayton, and has but ono competitor to the claim, called tho Steubenvillo Routo, which is composed of tho Pittsburgh and Steubenvillo Road, tho Steubenvillo and Indiana Road to Nowark, thenco by the Central Ohio Road to Columbus, and thenco by tho Columbus and Xonia Road and tho Little Miami Road to Cincinnati,In comparing with tho Stculwnvillo Route, yours has tho advantage in every element of success, (except in tho chain distance) and but for this exception no mention of those advantages would here be needed, becauso a shorter distance, however slight, is too often claimed and concedod to be conclusive.

Tho connections referred to deserve especial notico, since by the contract recently effected, for a through route between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, not only is tho powerful aid of the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne and Chicago and tlio Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton R. R. Companies secured, in securing us our future business, but it is their interest to givo it to us exclusively; and by contract, at equitable rales. The former Road, by its connection with the Pennsylvania Central Railroad m the samo Depot at Pittsburgh, and tho influence, which it must possess from its great magnitude and importance, will be to us more valuable than to havo our own independent line to that city. The connection with tho Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Road, which has tho advantage of a common Depot with tho Ohio & Mississippi Road at Cincinnati, secures to us the best connection with that city. The Sloubenvillo Routo depends upon the Littlo Miami Road fur its Cincinnati business, while tho latter Road has also to divide its favors w ith three other Routes eastward. Tho local business along your line.of llond mnv lie assumed to be equal to that of any other Road in Ohio of equal length, since by a comparison of the population and value of tax able property in tlio live counties through, and into which this Road passes, they equal an average of that of the State, and would yield an annual income of $2,221 per milo up-on)this basis of estimating. When wo add to this the amount of the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati through business, secured by the contract referred to, tho gross I 111co.no claimed m your Report ot January last of $3,300 per mile, or 040,000, will be moro than rcali.cd. That so good a Route fur a Railroad was to bo fuund in the eastern part of Ohio was not dexpecto by those acquainted with tho topography of this State. Tho region northwest of the Ohio River, and extending as far west as tho Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Kail-road, is hilly. Tho table lands and summits between tho main streams maintaining an elevation of about 4U0 feet abovo low water lino of tho Ohio River, the valleys of the tributaries of that rivcp becoming lowor as Uiey approach it, while tho intervening ridges retain their uniform high elevation. Low "gaps" in theso ridges aro very raro, and tht search for them in tho proper lino of a Itoad, has been tho occupation of Engineers fur many years. It is now thought to be completed aud all the ridges to havo been travors-ed by tho instruments. Your Road would leave tlio line ol the rittshurgh, r ort S aync & Chicago Road in tho valley of the Mohican and necessarily pass over tho high land between that stream and Vernon River. A " pass" was found for it near Orccrsville, 108 feet lower than any other spot on this Ridge and requires only 120 feet rise to reach it from tho East, having 3,'.j miles distance to mako tho ascent, tho summit requiring olecp cutting, but on tho contrary, presents tho least costly mile of grading upon tho whole Road. Tho descent to the valley of Vornon River 125 feet is effected in 7 miles in a straight line and with light grading, thenco following up the valley of Vernon River past Kcnyon Col-Icirc'to Mt. Vernon, where it crossos tho River, proceeds up tho valley of Dry Creek to tho table lands 15 miles distant from Mt. Vornon, and thence upon a direct course, with undu lating grades to Delaware. The Yvcstim luvision or the lioan, from Delaware to Springfield is completed and brought into use with engines and cars sufll-ciunt upon it fur local traffic.

More time may be required to effect all the negotiations for iron, rails, &c, and tho contractors may proceed less rapidly than could bo wished ; but this delay and tho slow progress are incident to tho present general stringency of the times, and not from any cause endaugering ultimate success.
